SUSPECT SHOT BY OFFICER IN THEATER PLEADS GUILTY TO ASSAULT, MAKING THREAT

A domestic violence suspect who was shot by a police officer in a Carmel Mountain movie theater pleaded guilty Thursday to charges including assault with a firearm and making a criminal threat.

Tom Billodeaux, 22, of Escondido entered guilty pleas to four felony charges, with allegations that he used a firearm in the offenses.

He is expected to be sentenced April 8. He faces 30 years and four months in prison.

San Diego police said Billodeaux confronted his 19-year-old girlfriend the afternoon of Jan. 12 outside a Chipotle restaurant near Carmel Mountain Road. He threatened her and several bystanders with a gun and then ran to a neighboring commercial area.

Police locked down the area, including the Reading Cinemas Carmel Mountain 12.

Billodeaux was found in a theater. An officer told him to show his hands, but the suspect brought up a handgun. Billodeaux was shot in the chest and arm.

Man who told deputies he stabbed his wife was going through divorce

Imperial Beach

A 59-year-old San Diego man who came to the Imperial Beach sheriff’s station and claimed to have just killed his wife was in the midst of a divorce, according to court records.

Marvin Dennis Duncan rang the intercom at the station about 3:40 p.m. Wednesday with two toddlers in his arms, and deputies found his gravely injured wife lying in the parking lot nearby, sheriff’s homicide officials said.

Rocio Duncan, 36, died of multiple stab wounds shortly after being found.

Sheriff’s homicide Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said the stabbing is believed to have occurred in the parking lot.

Court records show the couple began divorce proceedings in September. A hearing in the case is set for today in Chula Vista court.

FBI arrests one-time candidate for Cal State student-body president

san marcos

The FBI on Thursday arrested a one-time candidate for Cal State San Marcos student-body president, 11 months after concerns of election tampering surfaced on campus.

Matthew Weaver is scheduled to be arraigned today ﻿in federal court in San Diego following his arrest on suspicion of wire fraud, access device fraud and unauthorized access to a computer, FBI Special Agent Darrell Foxworth said.

Last year, Cal State San Marcos officials said they suspected the user IDs and passwords of some 700 students were stolen to alter results of the student election, in which students cast votes via computer.

Campus police arrested Weaver on March 15 — the last day of the voting period — after they found him at a school computer and in possession of a device that could be used to steal computer passwords. At the time, the third-year business student was running to be student body president.

Weaver was not charged with a crime at the time. A month later, the FBI said it was investigating the case.
